Unable to start Logstash service on Centos7

When i am trying to start the logstash as a service in centos 7 i am getting below error all the time. I am not a great linux guy, so any help with the start-limit error would be a great help. I tried to follow some links to fix or reset the StartLimitInterval etc, but in vain.

[root@resource-managers logstash-5.1.1]# service logstash status
Logstash Daemon● logstash.service - logstash

I met the same problem, and solved it. Maybe it can help you.

Can you check your ${LS_HOME}/config/startup.options file? You should set LC_USER and LC_GROUP to existed account and group .

# user and group id to be invoked as
LS_USER=elk-test
LS_GROUP=elk-test

In my system, I changed the default value "logstash" to "elk-etst".

After that, ran the system-install command, and started the service, it worked!

● logstash.service - logstash
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/logstash.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)

ps: I'm running logstash-5.1.2
